With a Schneider Super-Angulon 165mm f8, you are looking at a 135 format 24mm f1.4 via equivalence, interesting that Heisler puts so much importance on f1.4 instead of f3.5 (the actual 24 TS-E aperture) and a much easier shoot. He really does value that separation only possible through comparative lens speed, even in the T/S. That is a perfect demonstration from a master of the ever finer search for image quality, look, and attention to detail.

So no 135 format lens can match the specifics of the Guiliani portrait, close, but no banana. The 17 TS-E f4 is a comparative oaf for that specific look.

And masters are here to inspire us I find it interesting on how (although not with my lens, or skills) you can conceptualize the tying in of a person with some background element that gives symbolic significance.

Having read and not understanding the Scheimpflug principle on wikipedia, with its dense and mathematical language; I came over some great articles written by Harold Merklinger. Imo he writes in a pedagogical and clear manner explaining the principle.

I apologize in advance for my ignorance and probably silly question, but what's the purpose of that strip with circles attched to the lens?Thanks

Dear Friend , NWPhil.The Bull eye target picture( From My BB-Gun Target Practice) , 1- I put at he back of Camera to show the Location of Sensor in the Camera, 3- of the Bull eye targets the Center is show of the Center Location of the Real Photo= at the Right Focus, The Left Bull eye target is show the Tilt of Lens toward the camera sensor( When I tilt the Lens to the Left position) = Make the Left side Details of Photos = Blur, The Right Bull eye target that show on the photo = move toward the front of the camera, or far away from the sensor, compare with the center bull eye position= that make the right side of the picture are blur. That how to change the DOF in both side of the Photo, and leave the center is only area is sharp.

Yes, I use this method to show to my Photography/ Camera club, to show them , how it work.Here is a great Video that I adapt for my class

Your camera comes with an indicator for that, showing where the film/sensor plane is within the camera:Look for that symbol similar to the greek letter phi:

Φ

the line indicates the plane through the cameraThe 5D cameras have that symbol on the left of the viewfinder box, near the mode dial.

Thanks you, Sir, Dear M.Thanks for Infor.. Yes My Large Bull eye Target just for Show and tell, In front of the Class, that the Members can see clear from the back of class room.Have a good evening, Sir.Surapon

It's a comprehensive guide to using view cameras, but then of course the principles are exactly the same as are involved in the use of tilt-shift lenses. This book will answer all of your questions, comprehensively, without getting excessively involved in the mathematical theory and it's very readable. You can ignore the bits about film. The only thing it won't tell you is not to tighten the locking knobs on Canon's TS-E lenses too much. They're easy to break and expensive (very) to fix.

Thanks a lot:) I will get it soon. Nice of you also to point out that one should not tighten the locking screw too hard. I think that I might have, but luckily nothing has broken yet....
